SHORT CIRCUIT

After 59 years in business, electronics retailer Circuit City Stores filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday.

Circuit City plans to emerge from bankruptcy in first-half 2009. The company disclosed $3.4 billion in assets and $2.3 billion in liabilities.

SIRIUS XM DELAY

Sirius XM Radio said Monday that it took a $4.8 billion impairment charge on the reduced value of assets and said that it would delay the filing of quarterly reports "for not more than five days." Without the hefty charge, and assuming the merger with XM was in place a year ago, Sirius reported revenue that climbed 16% to $612.8 million.
